Tides are caused by the force of gravity from the sun and moon acting on Earth.

When are tides highest?

during the moon’s first quarter phase

when the sun, Earth, and the moon are nearly in a line

during the moon’s third quarter phase

when the moon is at a right angle to the sun

Because the moon rotates once for each revolution around Earth,

you see some phases more than others.

a different side of the moon faces Earth each day.

you never see the far side of the moon from Earth.

the far side of the moon is visible only during the full moon phase.

You are less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a total lunar eclipse because

the moon’s shadow covers all of Earth during a solar eclipse.

new moon phases occur less often than full moon phases.

only people on the daytime side of Earth can see a solar eclipse.

the moon’s umbra only covers a small area on Earth’s surface.
